Re: Could not decode LDAP extension packet - error

[Graham B. <gb...@po...>]

You dont need the APPLICATION 23 in your code, try

 $asn = Convert::ASN1->new;
 $asn->prepare(q<
       flags INTEGER,
       dn    OCTET STRING
     >);
 
 $pdu = $asn->encode( flags => 0, dn => "ou=test,o=cdac");
 $ldap->extension(
    name => '2.16.840.1.113719.1.27.100.3',
    value => $pdu
 );
